The gentleman that greeted us was lovely! He made us feel welcome straight away. The room was beautiful, spacious, clean and the shower was good and hot. Breakfast was light but delicious (fresh juice, coffee, bread, cheese, olives, etc). It was about a 25-30 minute walk to the main souks, but never felt long or too out of the way. It was actually nice to escape the bustling centre for some quiet. It can be tricky to find, but what isn’t in Marrakesh?! Lol

Considering it was almost an 800 year old building the condition was good. The staff (Khalid) was friendly and helpful. There were restaurants (local food) within walking distance. You could also get a taxi within a few minutes to visit tourist places.

Three days in Marrakech
Kahlid, the manager was wonderful. We checked in about 5pm. He served tea. He told us about the property and the town and some of their customs. After we settled in he recommended a place to eat and walked with us to show us where it was. The food was great. There were 3 of us in the room but it wasn't too crowded. The rooms are off a court yard where we were served breakfast and tea. Excellent food. It was made fresh for us in the kitchen off the courtyard.

We stayed for three nights here as a couple and felt so welcomed. The staff weee incredibly friendly and went out of the way to make sure we were comfortable. We cannot recommend this place enough and encourage anyone wanting a hotel to stay here for an authentic Moroccan experience.
The room was spacious and clean upon arrival and cleaned daily. The shower was hot as well as powerful with basic toiletries provided.

The Riad itself was intimate and really gave the authentic experience. The rooms AC was a blessing and was never too hot. Beds and the bathroom were well kept and cleaned daily, so cute. The host was so, so kind and extremely helpful in many different ways, the best! Only thing I would mention is travelling around at night can be a bit challenging as it can seem like a maze. This is especially apparent when Google Maps aren't giving you correct directions or showing non-existent roads. Get a good bearing of the area during the day and try get to get back to the Riad at a reasonable time.

We have just returned from a 3 day stay in this lovely Riad. We booked our airport taxi through the hotel and the host met us from the drop off point in the Medina to walk to the Riad. Our host was a lovely quiet man who was very hospitable. The Riad was beautiful inside but fairly basic which we liked. The beds were comfortable and breakfast basic but authentic and slightly different each morning. The only downside to this Riad was its location. It’s in more of a residential area and a good 25 minute walk from the main square, that’s if you don’t get lost. You definitely need Google maps .

Friendly and welcoming Riad
A lovely place to stay. We were so well looked after by our hosts; everything from airport transfer to making sure we were comfortable in our room. Breakfast was delicious and varied from day to day and the serving area was perfect. There are also good communal seating areas and we were able to make use of the rooftop terrace. Previous reviews mention the close proximity to a mosque and hearing the early morning call to prayer. We personally found this to be a positive experience, all part of the city and its rich culture. The Riad is located within the Medina, but is at the northern most end, so Google maps is definitely needed to be able to navigate your way to the main attractions. We found that we actually did slightly fewer steps than we would normally on a city break. There are a couple of really good restaurants nearby - Zouhal Food and Limoni. Would definitely recommend this Riad as a place to stay.

Riad in the middle of Medina
Khalid was a very polite and hospitable person. We found it strange at first because we never got a key for our room. But thats the way it is. The people in the riad was honest.
Close to the mosque, the prayer with microphone starts at 6.40 every single day. We found it hard to sleep afterwards.
Bit old but clean.
Location: after a couple of days we wished living in another place, more quiet. A lot of people getting in to Medina. The Riad itself was quiet.
Breakfast was ok, very moroccan. Not healthy option. Though Khalid served good variation everyday.
